Hello RV Enthusiasts!
My partner and I are very excited to give the full time on the road lifestyle a try. Right now we are on the verge of purchasing a Chevy C/K 2500 diesel pickup. We want to go with the fifth wheel for maximum flexibility and not having the motor tied to the living quarters. I see this truck is rated at about 10k lbs and we are looking at 25 foot trailers. Does everything sound alright here?
I'm also trying to wrap my head around the whole hitch thing. How can I find the right hitch/rails for this truck? Also, I want to install the hitch myself. What do I need to know to do it right and what sort of tools will I need? Thank you for any tips you can offer!
Hard to beat a B&W hitch of any flavor. Depending on the FW you're looking at, the weak link in the equation is always the payload capacity of whatever truck you are looking at. Don't pay much attention to tow capacity, only payload.
